Description

"... I believe we have more pressing concerns. You seem to have a Hive Fleet invasion on your hands."

Not an exact scene from the 40K fic I've been writing, but it gets the general idea of it across. XD More like cover art, heh. Brother-Captain Stern of the Grey Knights and Captain Akil of the Thousand Sons (with their helmets on, 'cause it's stupid to get into a fight without your helmet!) work together to defend an Imperial world from a tyranid invasion.

I didn't do line art for this one! Which is new for me - normally I'm obsessive about my line art, heh. Decided to see if I could pull off a pic without meticulously drawing out all the details first and just painting it straight - it seems to have worked out all right. Still did some base sketches, of course, but nothing much more than general shape and layout scribbles.

A few minor things I'm not entirely happy with, but that's usually the case. Other than those, I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out.
